Subject: Prostitution in London 1976


do any of you who lived in or were in london in 1976
remember an art exhibition entitled 'Prostitution' put
on by COUM Transmissions? according to the book i'm
reading right now on Genesis P-Orridge, founder of the
COUM Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle and later
Psychic TV the exhibit caused quite a stir in
Parliament and was all over the news. just curious if
this was in fact true or if it only caused a minor
stir and in fact was not nearly as big of a deal as
fans and participants make it out to be. Some call it
one of the greatest art scandals in 20th century
England which i'm not sure if i should believe due to
the possibility of biased sources.

btw: happy holidays to one and all.
